Here are a few more (okay, ten) photos from an excursion through city centre a couple weeks ago. This city and its people are so photogenic, it’s too bad people are volatile and hostile towards cameras–most of the images I’m taking around town are shot from the hip, for fear of being verbally assaulted by a subject.
I really wish I had gotten the courage to take photos of the inside of a dala dala, especially when they’re crowded. Sometimes, I think that’s where the Makonde sculptors got their inspiration for those ujaama (or is it umoja?) sculptures where people are so very close to — and bent — around one another!
omg I don’t think I have the courage to whip out any photos inside a daladala. I can just imagine it being whipped out of my hands and mob-attacked.
